Hi:

I am having problems printing a report. I am running Birders Diary 3.6 with Clements checklist 2009. I have called up my lifelistand am trying to print it and when I click on output at the bottom of the screen I get a screen that has "program files". Before when I clicked output I was able to print. I am using windows vista.

Hi Pete,

When you click the "Preview/Print" button n the main Report form, you should get a form titled "Preview and Print/Save Report", that shows the report you just created. Does this happen?

On that form, there should be a dropdown box titled "Output". Are you selecting "Printer" in that box, and clicking the output button?

If you see something else, where does it differ from my description?

Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve:

I am in preview and print/save report and my life list has come up. At the output drop down box it says printer file. There are several things availble in the box but none just says printer. when I click the output button I get a screen that has my desktop and says save as.

ok.

"Printer file" is the second thing in the dropdown, and assumes you want to save the file so you can print it later.

You need to scroll up in the dropdown box to get to "Printer", which is the first entry.

Let us know if that fixes it, please.

Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve:
That was not very smart, I scrolled down on the drop box but never scrolled up . When I found printer everything worked fine.
Thanks a lot

Hi:
I am back again with a printing problem. I have printed reports using the information in the previous posts, but when I tried to print the most recent report the print window comes up and when I click on print, a small window comes up and disappears in less than a second, and the printer does not respond. I am able to print from e-mail and words processor.

Hi Pete,

Any idea what the small window that disappears quickly says on it? Anything? Is it possible that this window is still up but just behind other windows?

Are you sure you are selecting the same printer thatn you can print to from email?

What version of Windows are you running? 32 or 64-bit? (e.g. Windows 7, 64-bit)

I assume printing has worked in the past for you. Can you pinpoint any changes to your system (installed new software) in between the last time it worked and when it stopped working?

Have you tried rebooting? Lame question, but sometimes it works.

Let us know please,

Jeff

Hi Jeff:

 

I replaced a printer cartridge and am now able to print my report. It seemed as if it should have printed in black and white as I didn't need a black ink cartridge. Thanks for your help.

 

Yours;

Pete

Hi Pete,

Well that is certainly weird. Glad it is working now.

Thanks for the update,
Jeff
